I visited B.A.P.S Temple today

Here are some photos of the temple.
I wish I could describe how it felt but mere words could never do so.

1. I absolutely have to visit...

...this temple. As a Georgia native i can only imagine how the local Bible Thumpers are reacting to the presence of a Hindoo Temple in their "Christian State/Nation."

Reminds me of the 'tolerance' exhibited by the Bible Thumper Crowd when the Hindu Religious Leader gave the opening prayer in Congress. Disrupted the prayer and called it an "abomination."

2. So far

the christians seem to be okay with it.Have not heard of any of them complaining yet.It may be just a matter of time though.
The weird thing is is the only complaints I have heard are from Indians themselves.They seem to think the money spent would have been better used helping the downtrodden in India.Go figure.

3. I must go to visit that temple. It's awesome!

I think it's only about 45 min or so from my house. :)

Thanks for the pictures! :)

4. When you go

Be sure to stand under the rotunda in the top picture.Also stand under the rotunda closer to the entrance 9not pictured).
The energy they emit is unreal.Except that it is.

5. Wow, they allow photography in there?

I'm a little surprised.

Anyway, it's certainly on my must-see list. Thanks for the post.

6. No photography inside allowed

The photos came from this site here- http://www.atlantadunia.com/

If you go,remember that short pants or dresses or skirts cut-off above the knees allowed.But,they also have these skirt like things you can wear if you are not appropriately dressed
